There are several constants in the work, namely layers, light and colour. Samantha Schulz aims to capture light within a surface by building a work comprising of contrasting layers. They are made of resin, acrylic paint, a variety of mediums, foils and gold leaf etc. The motivation remains the need to create an image where beauty matters, where the viewer can lose themselves in colour and light. Developing artworks that can add light to a space.

During the process of creating the mixed media pieces she discovered that she could also achieve her goals using the medium of photography and so she created this series of unique fineart photographs, which compliment the mixed media pieces whilst retaining a distinctive quality of their own.
